Fear leads to paranoia. Paranoia leads to conspiracy theories.
I was telling an acquaintance recently that I don't like the idea of electronic voting. I know too much about computer bugs and bad code. Plus there's no paper trail.
He said, "Oh, but that's the GOOD part."
Me, ""What's the good part?"
He, "No paper trail."
Me, "Huh? How? Oh. I see. I guess it depends on who wrote the code and how they want it to come out."
According to an article in Newsweek sometime this past spring, the owner of the company that supplied almost all the machines is a rabid Christian Right Bushy. I'd love to see a map of the precincts using electronic voting overlaid on a map of how the counts went.
